Disgust and fear lower olfactory threshold.

Abstract: Odors provide information regarding the chemical properties of potential environment hazards. Some of this information may be disgust-related (e.g., organic decay), whereas other information may be fear-related (e.g., smoke). Many studies have focused on how disgust and fear, as prototypical avoidant emotions, facilitate the detection of possible threats, but these studies have typically confined to the visual modality. Here, we examine how disgust and fear influence olfactory detection at a particular level-t… Show more

“…Specifically, these top-down influences seem to have affected the threshold for tactile detection of stimuli. This is similar to recent findings showing the effect of disgust on olfactory thresholds (Chan, Holland, van Loon, Arts, & van Knippenberg, 2016).…”

“…Ekel wirkt aber auch in die andere Richtung und kann die Wahrnehmungsschwelle für Odorante herabsetzen [Chan et al, 2016], den Geruchssinn also sensibler für bestimmte Reize machen. So können Personen, die mit ekelauslösenden Stimuli konfrontiert wurden, Gerüche, wenn sie später in geringerer Intensität dargeboten werden, schneller wahrnehmen, als Personen, die mit neutralen oder appetitanregenden Reizen konfrontiert wurden [Chan et al, 2016].…”
